Frequently asked

What tire size does a Suzuki DR-Z400SM use?

GarageDex's powersports data shows the Suzuki DR-Z400SM runs a 120/70-R17 front tire and a 140/70-R17 rear tire. Tire sizes vary by year - see the table for each range.

What do the tire numbers mean?

A size like 120/70-R17 reads as tread width (mm) / aspect ratio (% of width) - rim diameter (in). Match all three so the tire fits the rim and clears the swingarm and fender.

Do the Suzuki DR-Z400SM tire sizes change by year?

Yes - fitment differs across the years we cover: 2021-2023 runs 120/70-R17 front / 140/70-R17 rear; 2015-2020 runs 120/70-17 front / 140/70-17 rear; 2013-2014 runs 120/70-R17 front / 140/70-R17 rear; 2009-2011 runs 120/70-R17 front / 140/70-R17 rear; 2008 runs 120/70-17 front / 140/70-17 rear. Match your exact year in the table.

Can I fit a different tire size?

Stick to the stock size - it's matched to the rim width, speedometer, and handling. A wider tire can rub the swingarm or fender and throws off the speedo, so only deviate on a shop's advice.
